Chapter 2
It was 12:30 p.m. as Ginny looked at her clock. The young girl stepped out of bed. She was feeling
rather happy due to the late night cutting session she had the previous night. Ginny grabbed a pair of jean shorts and a white tank top and headed for the shower. After her shower Ginny headed down stairs to the kitchen. As the redhead entered the kitchen she saw her mother along with her brothers Fred, George and Ron. She also seen Ron's two friends Harry and Hermione. They all sat at the wooden table waiting on lunch.
Ginny's breath caught in her throat as she seen Hermione sitting there. She's changed a lot, Ginny thought as she noticed her friends appearance. Hermione who use to have very bushy, untrained, brunette colored hair now had smooth silky hair with blonde streaks. She had a light tan and was very slender. Ginny gazed into her friends hazel eyes thinking, She's beautiful. She was brought back to reality when Hermione embraced her into a tender hug. "Oh, Gin, I've missed you so much!" Hermonie whispered. "How are you?" "I'm good" said the younger but taller girl as her grin widened. As the two girls parted Ginny blushed slightly at how long they had embraced each other. The older girl grabbed the younger ones hand and led the way to two empty chairs at the table. "So Gin, decided to grace us with your presence?" asked Fred which now had a slight smirk on his face. "Oh do shut up Fred." Hermione said with a joking smile. "Lunch is ready." Molly Weasley, Ginny's mom said carrying a big plate of sandwiches and a big bowl of chips.
Harry and Ron discussed the usual Quidditch. The twins Fred and George talked about some new invention with Mrs. Weasley. But Hermione and Ginny sat and ate in complete silence. Ginny reached for her glass of pumpkin juice at the same time Hermione reached for some chips. Their hands grazed each others slightly. Ginny felt the warm sensation of Hermione's touch. Ginny's hand jerked away quickly and her cheeks and ears became slightly pink from blushing. I can't believe I just touched her hand. Ginny thought as excitement swelled up inside her. Ginny stared at her plate taking deep, slow breaths trying to recover from the incident.
After all the food had disappeared the Weasley boys and Harry made their way outside. Ginny, Hermonie, and Molly sat around the table chatting with one another. "Hermione have you received your O.W.L results?" asked Molly " No, haven't received them yet. I hope I get them soon though. I can't hardly wait. " replied Hermione excitedly. She is so beautiful when she's excited. Ginny sighed Shut up Ginny there's no way she'll ever have feelings for you. Just forget about her. I can't forget I've been trying to forget for 2 years now. It's IMPOSSIBLE! " Ginny are you ok?" Ginny looked up at her mother. " Yeah I'm ok. I was just zoning out I guess. " Ginny smiled weakly at her mum. " Well why don't you go to your room and have a little nap?" Molly said. "ok mum but will you wake me up in a couple of hours?' "Sure dear have a nice nap." Ginny walked slowly up the stairs. Minutes later she was laying on her bed with tears rolling from her eyes.
